David Wells would make for a good, short term replacement. He would sign for close to the league minimum and could give you ten or so wins. Another option is Randy Wolf, who is pitching very well for the Padres. Jason Marquis is available with the Cubs, and he is an option as well. All three options are good short term, but probably would not be good options long term. So far this season, Bonderman is 3-4 with a 4.29 ERA.

it would make no sense for the tigers to make a trade yet. not only do they have dontrelle, but casey fossum has allowed 3 runs in his last 4 starts (26. 2/3 innings) striking out 35 in AAA. Also they have Virgil Vazquez on the 40 man who made a few starts for them last year.

Why would the tigers make a trade? They had 6 starters before bonderman was hurt. Armando Galarraga has proven that he's ready to pitch in the big leagues and has been the team's best pitcher thus far.

I'm not sure Jason Marquis is available. If the Cubs pick up a good #2 or 3 starter, he may become expendible. Right now, Hill and Marshall are both having problems in AAA and Lieber got rocked in his only start. As much as I'd like to, I don't see a replacement for Marquis just yet.
